(5) How to write a foreign professor for scholarship
: sample of a good email
This is a real story: One of my friends had a very good profile in BSc. But he continuously failed to manage
any foreign professor (no reply from the profs). Finally he told me his this ‘strange’ problem. I found: his
previous emails were ‘extremely’ long. Professors are very busy people. They did not get enough time to
read his ….. emails. Then I helped him to write an email given below. God promise: he got the positive
reply with in one day and later he went there for higher degrees with full scholarship in 2012 ………. We are
still very good friends … Please check this sample:

(6) Additional extremely important issues (courtesy:
Elsevier)
"Six things to do before writing your manuscript
1. Think about why you want to publish your work – and whether it's
publishable.
Writing a paper starts well in advance of the actual writing. In fact, you must to think about why you
want to publish your work at the beginning of your research, when you question your hypothesis. You
need to check then if the hypothesis and the survey/experiment design are publishable. Ask yourself:
• Have I done something new and interesting?
• Is there anything challenging in my work?
• Is my work related directly to a current hot topic?
• Have I provided solutions to some difficult problems?
If all answers are "yes," then you can start preparations for your manuscript. If any of the responses
are "no," you can probably submit your paper to a local journal or one with lower Impact Factor.
When responding to these questions, you should keep in mind that reviewers are using
questionnaires in which they must respond to questions such as:
• Does the paper contain sufficient new material?
• Is the topic within the scope of the journal?
• Is it presented concisely and well organized?
• Are the methods and experiments presented in the way that they can be replicated again?
• Are the results presented adequately?
• Is the discussion relevant, concise and well documented?
• Are the conclusions supported by the data presented?
• Is the language acceptable?
• Are figures and tables adequate and well designed?, are there information duplicated? Are they too
many?
46 • Are all references

(7) Eight reasons why your paper rejected (It happens to
everyone. Don’t worry please) [courtesy: Elsevier]
When a manuscript is submitted to a high-quality scholarly journal, it goes through
intense scrutiny — even before it's seen by the editor-in-chief and selected for peer
review.
As Editor-in-Chief of Carbon, the international journal of the American Carbon Society,
Dr. Peter Thrower experiences this situation first-hand. His advice to authors: "By
avoiding these pitfalls, you will save reviewers, editors and staff time and frustration,
and ensure that your work is judged by its scientific merit, not mistakes."
1. It fails the technical screening.
Before they even go to the editor-in-chief, articles are checked for technical elements.
The main reasons they are rejected are:
• The article contains elements that are suspected to be plagiarized, or it is currently
under review at another journal. (Republishing articles or parts of articles, submitting
to one or more journals at the same time or using text or images without permission is
not allowed. See our ethical guidelines.)
• The manuscript is not complete; it may be lacking key elements such as the title,
authors, affiliations, keywords, main text, references and all tables and figures).
• The English is not sufficient for the peer review process,
• The figures are not complete or are not clear enough to read.
• The article does not conform to the Guide for Authors for the journal it is submitted
to.
• References are incomplete or very old.

(7) Eight reasons why your paper rejected (It happens to
everyone. Don’t worry please) [continued]
2. It does not fall within the Aims and Scope.
• For the journal Carbon, the material studied may contain carbon,
but is not carbon.
• The study uses a carbon material but the focus is on something
different.
• There is no new carbon science.
3. It's incomplete.
• The article contains observations but is not a full study.
• It discusses findings in relation to some of the work in the field but
ignores other important work.
4. The procedures and/or analysis of the data is seen to be defective.
• The study lacked clear control groups or other comparison metrics.
• The study did not conform to recognized procedures or
methodology that can be repeated.
• The analysis is not statistically valid or does not follow the norms of
the field.

7. It's incomprehensible.
• The language, structure, or figures are so poor that the
merit can't be assessed. Have a native English speaker
read the paper. Even if you ARE a native English speaker.
Need help? We offer language services.
8. It's boring.
• It is archival, incremental or of marginal interest to the
field (see point 6).
• The question behind the work is not of interest in the field.
• The work is not of interest to the readers of the specific
journals.
